The 2016 Corton Grand Cru Blanc comes from the lieu-dit of En Regnet et Corton, underwent malolactic in wood and matured in 100% new oak sans bâtonnage. It has an almost Meursault-like bouquet with subtle hazelnut, smoke and lychee aromas bubbling up from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a rounded, generous opening. This handles the 100% new oak in its stride and allows the terroir to be translated on the tensile finish that just lacks a little persistence. Otherwise this is very fine, albeit a grand cru that might be best enjoyed in its flush of youth.

Varietal Chardonnay

Of all the white wine grape varietals, surely the one that has spread the furthest and is most widely appreciated is Chardonnay. This green-skinned grape is now grown all over the Old and New Worlds, from New Zealand to the Americas, from England to Chile, and is one of the first varietals people think of when considering white wine grapes. Perhaps this is because of its huge popularity, which reached a peak in the 1990s, thanks to new technologies combining with traditional methods to bring the very best features out of the Chardonnay grape and allow its unique qualities to shine through. Most fine Chardonnay wines use a process known as malolactic fermentation, wherein the malic acids in the grape juice are converted to lactic acids, allowing a creamier, buttery nature to come forward in the wine. No grape varietal is better suited to this process than Chardonnay, which manages to balance these silky, creamy notes with fresh white fruit flavors beautifully.
